My 9m baby is still not holding on toys with 2 hands and even with one hand he is unable to hold toys bigger than his palms. But no issues with those small toys like rattles, spectacles etc that are easy to grab. He does hold milk bottle with both hands during feeds but other than that he refuses to hold the bottle. Do u think I need to be concerned ? As for other milestones, he can roll and sit well and stand leaning on sofa for support but not yet crawl. Character wise he is very laid back

Every baby develops at different rate. I think you need not be too worried given that he is able to grab things and hold his bottle. He may have "allocated" more resources to developing other skills (like rolling and standing, which perhaps seemed more interesting to him). Give him some time. In the meantime, simply provide him with toys of different shapes and sizes to help encourage him to develop this skill. :)
